"All First Ladies are Executive Prisoners" - Mrs Sherifat Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola's wife

Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola's wife, Mrs Sherifat, on Monday, in an interview with
journalists described all first ladies in Nigeria as ‘executive prisoners.’

That contrary to the belief that first ladies were enjoying, governors’ wives had no freedom to live the way they liked.

She said:

“All first ladies are executive prisoners. They are all here now (referring to security aides) and I can’t go to anywhere without them following me.
Who among the First Ladies is free? Who among First Ladies can go anywhere they like? All the First Ladies are executive prisoners. We can only dress like this and smile to the cameras but we are executive prisoners.”

Mrs. Aregbesola said that she and fellow First Ladies get involved in projects in order not to be useless throughout their stay at the various Government Houses.
